Re: Drake L7 Power output
I don't think anyone is suggesting 1200 watts on FT8 from a Drake amp. My suggestion was more like around half of that at the most. I have a couple of Alphas that would do that but my antenna would

T4X-B no transmit on 75 and 160
I thought I posted this but will try again. My T4X-B just stopped transmitting on 75 and 160. Not sure if 160 worked before since I never tried it, but losing 75 meters is hard since that is my major

I would not suggest running 1290 watts out on FT-8, on 80m anytime soon. ( I get 1290 watts PO into a DL, using 3 x calibrated meters, bird, coaxial dynamics and also an array solutions

Re: R-4B troubleshooting, was Cabinet repainting
I agree. Selling on eBay is not a walk in the park these days. I've run into sellers at hamfests who said they stopped selling on eBay because it became to much of a PITA. No one is getting rich

Re: Drake L75 output
As I recall, the L75 had more than half the output of the L7. ?Even though the L75 only had one tube, it had a higher plate voltage than the L7 and thus the resulting power out. 73, Evan, K9SQG
